I tried this in November 2012, using a Groupon deal. I tried three things: Citrus Tilapia, Pad Thai, and Pad See Eeow. The latter two dishes were good and very similar to other restaurants in the area at a competitive price -- wouldn't choose these dishes here over similar ones at Thai Kitchen, Suwatdee, Thai Noy or any of the other various Arlington Thai restaurants. However, the Tilapia was superb, with wonderful flavor (a little on the hot side) with vegetables prepared to perfection. I suspect based on just the three dishes tried, that the really outstanding dishes here are those that are an update from traditional Thai food. I will definitinely return to the restaurant again since food was good and prices were reasonable even without a Groupon deal. One note of caution -- sign is small, and this can be a little hard to find. It is not in Ballston mall but rather on Glebe road itself with entrance on Glebe Road -- in a row of various restaurants and other things. It is across from the Mazda dealership/Enterprise car rental if that helps (parking is a little tough -- some street parking across Glebe Road but watch for the zone signs because there are some limitations up until 8 pm).
